Lexar - JumpDrive 64 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

I've had my Lexar 64GB JumpDrive S70 for about a month now and I can't complain at all. The storage capacity is really nice and being able to slide the connector in and out is a great feature. Please be aware, however, that I thought about returning it when it wouldn't work in peripheral devices that I use (Blu-ray and DVD players and computers running Windows XP). The 64GB JumpDrive comes natively formatted in the exFAT file system, which most current peripherals and Windows XP computers won't recognize. If you're running Windows 7, like I am, it won't allow you to format a flash drive greater than 32GB in the FAT32 file system, which most current peripherals will recognize. Windows 7 only allows exFAT formatting for these drives. There's an easy fix for this, however. Just download and install the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool,, v. 2.1.8. I won't tell you exactly where to get it, but it's as easy as a Google search. Make sure to get version 2.1.8. I don't know how other versions will work. Once you've done this, you'll be able to format any flash drive over 32GB in the FAT32 file system and it should work in your peripherals. I know there are warnings saying not to format 32GB+ USB drives in FAT32 because of potential performance problems, but I've yet to encounter any. Once you do, you shouldn't have any problems using one in any device that recognizes FAT32. Since I don't use Macs, however, I cannot vouch for the effectiveness of this fix on that operating/file system. Hopefully, in the future, peripherals will be built recognizing the exFAT file system, but until then, this will probably be a necessary fix for those of you who want to use a 64GB USB drive or greater on anything that doesn't run Windows 7.
